Our Honeymoon Part 2
Okay, so last year LITERALLY three days before our wedding, I found out on facebook that my cruise ship that we were supposed to get on in four days was
ON FIRE!!!
I immediately got on the phone with Carnival to find out what was going to happen? Were we going to go, were they going to cancel it??? What was going to happen?!?!
After hours and hours of being on the phone with them and doing lots of internet searches, I found out that our cruise was going to be cancelled. Now, what to do for our honeymoon?!?! We ended up going down to San Diego and spent five days there, and we still managed to have a BLAST!
Fast forward, a year exactly and we were getting a HUGE discount on the same exact cruise and on board credit (we didn't know how much, until we got on board, which turned out to be $25, haha)
So the Lopez's were so generous to drop us off, and we made plans to have lunch in San Pedro for some yummy shrimp and drinks before getting on the ship, since we didn't have to be there until three-thirty.
We had an amazing lunch and had so much fun, drank too much beer, and had too much food. We realized it was 3:15 but we could see the ship so we weren't too worried. We drive to the ship and realize that wasn't our ship! the whole time we were looking at the WRONG ship!! We were leaving on the splendor and this was the spirit we could not believe it!! Yasmin looked at me and said, "wait! are you sure you're leaving from San Pedro and NOT Long Beach?!?! What!?!? There's a difference!?! I didn't even think about it! So we RUSHED and literally rushed to make our cruise, we were now so LATE!! I was so nervous we were going to miss the ship, but Yasmin got us there as fast as we could and we made it with a (little) time to spare :)
We had an amazing dinner, for our anniversary and had a blast exploring the ship! We even won a little bit of money in the casino!

We were deathly sick for the first whole day on the ship and it was so sad :( BUT the next day we were in Cabo!
We went on a little adventure where we went off-roading in these little cute cars, and we saw some dolphins and had so much fun! Once we got done with that we saw this!!
of course I HAD to have a picture with it
We spent two days in Cabo and it was so hot and nice, but it definitely didn't feel like it was NOVEMBER! It sounds weird but I kind of liked being cold on our anniversary last year, BUT it was nice to be in the sun and wearing summer clothes when I know our family and friends back home were wearing their jackets and scarves :)
We spent our last day on land in Puerto Vallarta, and it was so much fun at the fiesta we went to! Then we spent Friday and Saturday on the boat :) this time we weren't so deathly sick! Which was nice. We played bingo and games and ate a ridiculous amount!!
We had so much fun on our cruise, BUT I definitely think that cruises are meant for families or groups of people because it was kinda lonely when we saw families and groups playing all of the games together and it was just the two of us, especially because Mr. Party Pooper didn't want to do any scavenger hunts or even go swimming! >:l
We were happy to come home and we missed our animals so much! BUT we did have a BLAST!!!! AND I keep thinking about how much I can't wait to go back!!! :)
Adios Mexico, until next time! :)
